Abstract The Southern Ocean, although relatively understudied owing to its harsh
environment and geographical isolation, has been shown to contribute substantially to …

The genus Phaeocystis is globally distributed, with blooms commonly occurring on
continental shelves. This unusual phytoplankter has two major morphologies: solitary cells …

Abstract The western Antarctic Peninsula (WAP) is a climatically sensitive region where
foundational changes at the basis of the food web have been recorded; cryptophytes are …

Photoinhibition is an inevitable consequence of oxygenic photosynthesis. However, the
concept of a 'photoinhibition‐proof'plant in which photosystem II (PSII) is immune to …

Chinese researchers have made substantial progresses in research on the harmful algal
bloom (HAB) species Phaeocystis globosa since the first P. globosa bloom outbreak in the …

The continental shelf of the Ross Sea exhibits substantial variations in physical forcing, ice
cover, and biological processes on a variety of time and space scales. Its circulation is …

Abstract The Southern Ocean (SO) is a major sink for anthropogenic atmospheric carbon
dioxide (CO 2), potentially harbouring even greater potential for additional sequestration of …

We compare and contrast the ecological impacts of atmospheric and oceanic circulation
patterns on polar and sub-polar marine ecosystems. Circulation patterns differ strikingly …

In laboratory experiments we examined the interplay of light and iron availability on the
intracellular iron concentrations, specific growth rates, and photosynthetic physiology of …

The photoinactivation (also termed photoinhibition or photodamage) of Photosystem II (PSII)
and the counteracting repair reactions are fundamental elements of the metabolism and …
